Why The Wetseat’s Neoprene is better than the rest!

Established 2007 — one of Australia’s longest-running neoprene seat cover manufacturers. We’ve spent years refining materials, patterns and fittings so your cover both looks and works like the real thing.

  • Experience: Over a decade+ shaping neoprene seat covers for Australian conditions.
  • Proven Materials: Automotive-grade, solution-dyed poly top layer & Sharkskin Soft Rubber backing for the best water and UV resistance.
  • Fit & Finish: Largest neoprene pattern library in Australia, plus secured on snug by velcro straps — not flimsy ties. They won't move around once fitted correctly.
  • Warranty & Support: 24-month warranty and ongoing product support.

 

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery: Many competitors have appeared in recent years — but few match our manufacturing history, quality, testing and pattern coverage.
